So my truck was leaking oil bad, within 2 days I went through 10 quarts of oil.  I live nearly an hour away from anything and I used more oil to drive to affordable auto repair in gaylord michigan to have my oil leak fixed.  I told the man, Pat, that the leak was coming from the front main seal as I know a thing or two myself and I left it for him to look at.  He called a day later and said he could see oil everywhere and told me that it looked like a $500 to $600 or more repair as there was also a coolant leak.  I said no dont do anything and I would drive it home to do repair myself.  showed up next day and he said it was $65...for what??  all he kept saying is " no its not the seal, you may think it is but I KNOW its something else. ".  I know for a fact he didnt even have it in the air to inspect it because he would have discovered that what i said was correct.  so what then, a $65 visual inspection fee?? 

I took my truck home and stated taking things apart and amazingly it was a bad rip in...wait for it...the front mail seal.  oh and the coolant leak?  completely seperate issue as it was leaking from the passenger port along the top exterior of the block, a gasket break leak.  the man is a swindler, and will charge you $65 just to tell you there is something wrong.  basically he took $65 for no work while I did the repairs for $15 for a front main seal and $7 for coolant stop leak.  yes the stop leak is only temporary but as its the dead of winter right now I will hold off till spring to finish the repairs but those repairs I can take care of myself as that scam artist will never get my business again.
